Bronny and LeBron James

Skip Bayless, the seasoned sports commentator known for his strong opinions, was raised in the Oklahoma Sooners heritage. Over time, he also developed a strong support for the Dallas Cowboys. Despite his fervent loyalty to these teams, Bayless is also famous for his relentless criticism of LeBron James. It was quite a surprise when he revealed that, given a choice, he would prefer LeBron and his son Bronny winning a championship together over the Cowboys clinching a Super Bowl victory.

A Surprising Choice from a Staunch Critic

On "The Skip Bayless Show," Bayless responded to a few fan questions, one of which asked whether he would prefer LeBron and Bronny to win an NBA championship, the Cowboys to win a Super Bowl, or the Sooners to win a national championship. His response was unexpected.

“For me, at least a Bron and Bronny championship would be tolerable to watch,” Bayless stated, a surprising admission considering his well-documented disdain for LeBron.

Bayless elaborated on his thoughts about LeBron and Bronny winning a championship. He acknowledged Bronny’s struggles in the Summer League, where the 19-year-old faced challenges both offensively and defensively. Despite these struggles, Bayless pointed out that Bronny’s game is designed to complement his father's play on the floor. He believed that playing alongside his father, Austin Reaves, and Anthony Davis would help Bronny become a better player over time.
